Our Values

If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

Justworks is building a modern, high impact Partnerships organization focused on driving real business growth through trusted partner relationships. We’re looking for a Channel Partner Manager to recruit, enable, and grow a portfolio of partners that consistently generate partner sourced pipeline and revenue.

This role is ideal for someone who understands how deals get done, speaks the language of sales teams, and knows how to help partners successfully position, sell, and co-sell Justworks. At Justworks, partnerships are not about handshakes or one off referrals. They are about building a scalable top-of-funnel engine by investing in best-in-class partner relationships.

Who You Are

You’re a relationship-builder with a commercial mindset and a knack for turning partners into long-term revenue drivers. You understand the channel ecosystem and know how to enable, support, and grow strategic partner relationships. You’re comfortable owning revenue targets, collaborating cross-functionally, and navigating ambiguity in a high-growth environment. You thrive when you're working across stakeholders, balancing service and strategy, and driving measurable results.

Your Success Profile****What You Will Work On

• Own and grow a portfolio of channel partners, which may include accountants, benefits brokers, HR consultants, VC/PE firms, pilot partners, and associations
• Proactively identify, recruit, onboard, and activate new partners, not just manage an existing book
• Enable partners to successfully position and sell Justworks through training, resources, and ongoing coaching
• Carry and consistently achieve a quarterly quota tied to partner sourced pipeline and closed revenue

Understanding the Broker Segment

This role specializes in building and managing channel partnerships with benefits brokers. Success in this role requires understanding and supporting how brokers make buying decisions, managing multiple relationships simultaneously at scale, and balancing short-term revenue results with long-term partner development.

We value candidates with strong partnership fundamentals—revenue accountability, tactical prioritization frameworks, and strategic thinking—whether or not they have prior broker experience. If you're new to the broker space, we'll provide research materials and ecosystem context to help you prepare for conversations with our team. We're looking for people who can learn quickly, think strategically about partner relationships, and make tough decisions about where to invest resources for maximum impact.
